equal pay
KIRSTY NEEDHAM : FAIRFAX
THE federal government has bowed
to union and community sector anger
and backtracked on its decision to put
the budget bottom line ahead of equal
pay for women, after the intervention
of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.

Minister, Chris Evans, has overridden a
controversial government submission
to the equal pay test case being heard
by Fair Work Australia.

work and aims to lift wages in female-dominated industries. Read more

bankruptcy over ‘gift’
VANDA CARSON : SMH

The 79-year-old from Rozelle, in
Sydney’s inner-west, was given the luxury unit by the late developer Brian Ray,
